Empiricism

I agree that empiricism’s claim that all our knowledge is based on the use of senses, and agree that our senses create an experience, because sense helps us to understand, and our mind kept those experiences so we will know what the outcome will happen if we face that experience again. Finally our senses give us the experience which gives us the knowledge.  I believe that mathematics might have place in philosophy. But it depends on what theory is it, for example Sir Isaac Newton who used mathematic in his philosophy theory, and Socrates didn’t used any mathematics for his theory.

Methodological Skepticism

what I think about methodlogical skepticism? well its about honest or truth search for knowledge. As for myself I never use "methodlogical skepticism because I believe that this world is fine for me, however if i ever use methodlogical skepticism, people would think that Im crazy, because people dont want other telling them it wrong or this world is fake.

Allegory of the cave

I agree with Socrates's statement "Without philosophical education, we are like prisoners in the cave" without the philosophical we will not learn anything about our life and not be more aware of what we do it. philosophical helps us to think, ask question and explore about anything such as our lifestyle, religion and what's right or wrong. I believe philosophy is liberating not enslaving because it job is to set our mind free and learn more about ethics. I believe Socrates was being pessimistic about life because he wants the people of Athens to think, question and have strong knowledge. also not to be a prisoners in the cave.
